Lovely Danish porcelain figurines by the Dahl-Jensen company are
showcased in this first and superb reference for collectors.
Celebrated designer Jens Peter Dahl-Jensen worked for the Bing &
Grohdahl company before founding his own firm in 1925. He modeled
new sculptures, particularly creating a wonderful series
representing models from the Far East, which he produced as
figurines in the early days of the company's growth. Later, he
acquired the works of other artists to enlarge the model collection.
Of the almost 400 figurines the factory produced, Dahl-Jensen
himself sculpted about 280. All the known figurines made by the
company are included, arranged in both numerical and subject matter
order, for easy reference. Over 350 color photographs display the
natural wildlife and charming people that occupy this high quality
line of sculpture. They are growing in popularity among collectors
and presently are surprisingly affordable. Current values are
reflected in the captions.
